South Korea says movies good, prostitutes bad!

By Scott Rosenberg Dec 27, 2006, 8:45 GMT

Now here is a Xmas present workers around the world would love.This week, the South Korean Government Ministry of Gender Equality is offering companies throughout the country movie tickets.But there is a catch.Traditionally, S. Korean companies have lavish year end parties where alcohol flows freely. After parties, a visit to a prostitute is generally the case.A ministry official told the Korea Times Daily: "Korean corporate culture that includes heavy drinking is also what makes buying sex acceptable as a way for male-bonding, which is proving to be a hard-to-break ritual."So, the Government’s plan – stop the practice and we will give you movie tickets based on the number of employees who pledge not to visit prostitutes as well as a cash prize of 1 million won ($1,077) for the company which enlists the most employees in the campaign.Sign me up – I want that movie ticket.
